不同情

What is lamentably absent from this energetically researched book, for all its author's sympathy for those caught up in the suffering of infertility, is any sense that there is valid criticism of the repugnant practices she details so eloquently.

作者对那些陷入不育痛苦的人们深感同情，所以这本受到积极研究的著作可悲地缺少一些东西：她以如簧巧舌详尽描述了令人厌恶的行为，却让读者感觉不到她对它们的正当批评。

But just as easy to feel a touch of sympathy for O'Leary, his babies, and everyone else who did not know what was around the corner.

建议 ……但是给奥莱利，给他的小伙子们，给所有那些不知道将要遭遇什么的人一些同情，也不是什么难事。

"She never battled with the public, but submitted, uncomplainingly, to its worst usage; she made no claim upon it, in requital for what she suffered; she did not weigh upon its sympathies ."

她从来与世无争，只是毫无怨尤地屈从于社会的最不公平的待遇；她也没有因自己的不幸而希冀什么报偿；她同样不依重于人们的同情。

She never battled with the public, but submitted, uncomplainingly, to its worst usage; she made no claim upon it, in requital for what she suffered; she did not weigh upon its sympathies.

He bases his explanation not on a special "moral sense", as the third Lord Shaftesbury and Hutcheson had done, nor on utility as Hume did, but on sympathy.

他的解释，他的基地不是一个特殊的"道德意识"，作为第三个主沙夫茨伯里和哈奇森的所作所为，也不实用的休那样，而是同情。

I said I was sympathetic, but there was nothing I could or should do about it.

我说我对此表示同情，但做不了什么，也不应该做什么。

Do people favor underdogs , but always follow top dogs?

人们不是同情不得势的人却又总是跟随有权势的人吗？

A surge of compassion certainly wasn't their primary motivation, nor wiping my tears with a hanky.

激增的同情肯定不是他们的主要动机，也不以手帕擦拭眼泪。

If you insist, as so many have, that the story of Jack and Ennis is OK to watch and sympathize with because they're not really homosexual—that they're more like the heart of America than like "gay people"—you're pushing them back into the closet whose narrow and suffocating confines Ang Lee and his collaborators have so beautifully and harrowingly exposed.

如果你坚持说Jack和Ennis的故事还可以看，还可以让人同情，因为他们不是真正意义上的同性恋，如果你认为他们更多的体现了美国精神而不是同性恋，那麼你就是在把他们推回去那个柜子里，而那个柜子的狭小的让人窒息的空间已经由李安和他的合作者们通过一个美丽凄惨的故事所袒露出来了。

For example, if Sarah had been watching Irene as a compassionate witness rather than wanting to knock some sense into Irene's head or worry about her own place in the social universe (i.e., husbandless, childless, fancy toaster-less), she would have seen Irene's behavior the way Lynn did."Oh, look. Irene seems so awfully worried that her good fortune will make us dislike her." The moment Lynn articulated this dynamic, Sarah felt much more generous toward Irene.

例如，如果Sarah本来是作为一位同情的目击者身份来看待Irene，而不是希望往Irene的头脑中强加入某种。。，或者不担心自己在这个社交环境下的处境(例如，没有丈夫、没有孩子，没有高档烤面包机)的话，那么她就会和Lynn一样看待Irene的行为，&哦，看啊，Irene似乎很担心自己的好福气会让咱们讨厌她&一旦Lynn道出这一点，Sarah对Irene感到心胸开阔多了。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
